Questions to answer
- Do we actually need detailed analytics, or is GitHub Insights sufficient?
- If we use a third-party service, who manages the account?
- Are there Commonhaus Foundation guidelines or shared infrastructure for this?
- Does WildFly or RESTEasy track usage on their sites? If so, how?
